The Open Carry Facebook page describes the march as "an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event.

"We will march with rifles loaded [and] slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated [and] cower in submission to tyranny."

The statement continues, "There’s a remote chance that there will be violence as there has been from government before, and I think it should be clear that if anyone involved in this event is approached respectfully by agents of the state, they will submit to arrest without resisting."
